For my money it’s a tie between Eurydice’s song from Hades, any of the tracks from VVVVVV and Still Alive. But what do you think?
Shadowrun for Sega Genesis
Katamari Damacy!!!
For me it’s Dark World Theme - Zelda ALTTP (SNES) and Big Blue - F-Zero (SNES).
And in general the Zelda OST.
Ys
Some of my favourites:
- Max Payne 3 ost (1 and 2 are great too but I just love the violin)
- Star Wars The Old Republic saga - some examples Balmorra The Forge and Alderaan The Throne
- Mass Effect trilogy - example In Pursuit Of Saren
- Magical Diary Horse Hall & Wolf Hall - playlist
- All Skyrim (and generally The Elder Scrolls songs and soundtracks) - example The Dragonborn Comes by Malukah
If I remember any more I’ll update the list. I listen to these all the time.
Came here for Max Payne, awesome OST
Halo is my top pick.
Goldrunner was also fantastic in its way.
Chrono Trigger.
Here’s an obscure one.
The Batman game for NES.
That stage 1 & 2 song was like no other game music on the NES before or since.
Also, shout out to Blaster Master.
Like no other before or since? You’ll have to jam out to playing Gun Smoke for the nes, released before batman. The entire track is bangers and the game was awesome as well.
Mass Effect.
That opening scene, with that music playing… it really hooked me from the first second.
Love the reaper sounds. I think my favorite scene is from mass effect 2 when the reapers are coming to a planet you’re on and destroying everything.
Weight of the World - Nier Automata
The Japanese version when you’re finishing the game is the most emotional I’ve gotten during a game
Just one track? The Requiem of Shield Knight from Shovel Knight.
Halo (most), Super Paper Mario, Baten Kaitos, and Ocarina of Time.
Undertale. Megalovania. Anyone?
8 bit songs rule
Right now I’m going to have to go with a tie between Brok and Graff from Brok the Investigator and the legacy soundtrack piece After The Flames by Josh Woodward from SuperTuxKart.
Some great ones:
Gyruss (arcade)
Bubble Bobble (arcade)
WipeOut 2097(XL) (psx - probably the best example of songs that compliment the gameplay)
Afterburner II (arcade - just one specific track called City 202, at time 15:34)
Edit: 2 more
720 ( arcade - blistering)
Rolling Thunder ( arcade - max funky )
